Learn Soccer with Brian

Hi! I’m Brian Paredes, a dedicated goalkeeper coach based in Los Angeles. I specialize in training youth and high school goalkeepers who are serious about improving , whether they’re just starting or already playing at a high level. My journey began in South LA, where I developed elite skills despite limited resources. I went on to make the Region IV ODP Team twice, placing me in the top 0.05% of goalkeepers in the Western U.S., and I represented the U.S. in a prestigious international tournament against future professionals like Kingsley Coman and Mike Maignan. But what truly shaped me wasn’t just playing — it was learning how to adapt without shortcuts. I trained with gripless gloves, studied hundreds of hours of goalkeeper footage, and created advanced coordination drills that I now teach to help goalkeepers unlock elite-level control, presence, and instinct. Every session I run is designed to teach not just technique, but true understanding of the position. 💬 Why I Charge Premium Rates – A Family-Friendly Breakdown: I know my hour per session is higher than average, here’s why it reflects more than just my time: 1. Proven Track Record My players go from nervous to confident, from overlooked to recruited. I’ve helped goalkeepers make MLS academies, standout at showcases, and overcome mental hurdles that were blocking their growth. 2. Elite Credentials, Without the Ego I’ve competed at a level that few coaches have , but more importantly, I teach it accessibly, with patience and clear progress plans tailored to each player. 3. Science-Backed, Results-Driven Methods My drills aren’t random , they’re based on neuroscience, biomechanics, and 15+ years of experimentation. From ball control to decision-making, I build goalkeepers who think fast and move smarter. 4. Focus on Confidence and Character I don’t just train skills , I mentor. Players leave my sessions more self-aware, resilient, and proud of their growth. That carries far beyond the field. 5. Personalized Attention I never take more clients than I can handle. Each goalkeeper gets full focus, video feedback, and off-field support. You’re not just getting a session, you’re getting a coach who’s all in. Bottom Line: If you’re looking for the cheapest option, I may not be it , but if you’re looking for real growth, proven methods, and a coach who cares as much about your kid as you do, I’d love to be part of their journey.
